Lancaster Eagle-Gazette moves its operations to new locations

LANCASTER - The Lancaster Eagle-Gazette is moving from its longtime post on West Chestnut Street to two smaller locations in the city to continue its operation.

The newsroom and advertising offices will remain downtown but will be relocated to 123 S. Broad St., Suite 233 — across from the Lancaster Police Department — by Monday. The circulation department moved earlier this week to 1784 Victor Road.

While the Eagle-Gazette office has moved locations Editor Mike Throne said the newspaper's operations will continue.

"The only thing that really changes is the address," he said. "Our news, advertising and subscriber services staffs are all still hard at work right here in Lancaster to serve our readers with the best news and information we can find in our community."

Throne said the move helps consolidate the staff into a smaller space but also keeps them downtown, which was a priority.

"The E-G's identity is very much downtown, so we tried to find a spot that will keep us there," he said. "We're excited to make a small move, but one that continues a strong presence in the city and in the improving downtown."

The move comes after the Fairfield County Board of Commissioners approved the purchase of the Eagle-Gazette's 138 W. Chestnut St. building for $405,000 last spring. The county plans to turn the 16,320-square-foot space into a records center for the Fairfield County Clerk of Courts by 2019.

Both Eagle-Gazette offices will remain closed to the public, however, customers can make appointments with advertising representatives for local display ads by calling Karen Henderson at 740-681-4601. To reach the news team or make an appointment with a reporter call 740-681-4348.

Customers who were missed or have another problem with paper delivery are asked to call the customer service line at 877-424-0213, District Manager Julie Argyle at 740-681-4607 or Distribution Manager Heather Bright at 740-681-4516.
